The first time I heard about this was around 2005. It's amazing that it's taken this long to become news.

Well, hackers have been finding ways to view others' webcams since webcams have been a thing, but this article is about the Insecam website in particular [although it's not mentioned by name].

I guess they didn't want people going to the site, so they left the name out.

Thanks for mentioning it though, I didn't know what the site was.
